Chelsea Targets Are Not For Sale – Hodgson

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson is adamant that the Eagles duo of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Wilfried Zaha will still be at the club at the start of next season despite the intense transfer reports linking the two players with other clubs including Chelsea.

Both Wan-Bissaka and Zaha have been linked with West London giants Chelsea.

Roy Hodgson talked about the two players in his pre-match thoughts ahead of the away Premier League clash at North London club Tottenham Hotspur.

Hodgson and Crystal Palace would be the guests of Tottenham Hotspur who will play their first game at their new Stadium against the Eagles.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been one of the discoveries of the season in the Premier League after usurping the reliable Joel Ward as the first choice right-back at his club.

He has been able to help the Eagles keep 10 clean sheets in 28 appearances in the Premier League this season.

Wan-Bissaka is seen as a possible long-term replacement for Cesar Azpilicueta at Chelsea.

Zaha has also been touted as a possible replacement for Chelsea talisman Eden Hazard who could leave the club for Spanish giants Real Madrid later this year.

The former Manchester United player has scored eight goals and provided three assists for Crystal Palace this term.
